Founded in 1907 by Garnet McKee, Eclipse is now headed by the Perks family,
and is now celebrating its First 100 years in all its establishments across
the world spanning the Netherlands, China, several other European and Asian
nations including India, during 2007 and 2008.
Eclipse worldwide has steadily grown to be the leader in Innovative Thermal
Solutions for all types of industrial heating needs and from the current US$

future.
As part of the celebrations, Eclipse Chairman & CEO, Douglas Perks, and
Executive Vice President, Paul Carpenter, visited India during the 1st week
of December 2007. During their visit to Pune, Delhi and Bangalore, they met
customers, employees and other business associates and helped spread the
messages of Clean Heat, Clean Air for Industry. Mr Perks also appreciated
the potential for Eclipse products in the current upbeat Indian economy and
the firm’s intentions to concentrate significantly more on its presence in
India and the subcontinent.
During the celebrations in India, Eclipse’s approach to Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) was also touched upon in line with the practice in all
other parts of the world. As a first step towards CSR, Eclipse, Pune, has
announced its plans to sponsor a special Combustion Engineering course in 3
modules at the Sinhagad College of Engineering. The course would stress on
the basics of combustion with special emphasis to its relevance to
practicing industry professionals in the field.
To continue the 100 year celebrations, Eclipse India plans to hold
celebrations for all its prized customers in the 4 metro cities and in 1
Central Indian location in the next few months. Individual invitations would
be sent to customers and business associations to join in the celebrations
